Find the perfect course for you.
Our extensive range of study options give you the flexibility to choose how you want to study – whether you're looking for a short course to refresh your skills, or you're ready to commit to a life-changing degree.
We combine TAFE (vocational training) and higher education (university degrees) courses, in a single, flexible system – so you can easily move between practical skills and higher degrees, or choose between them.
Our research institutes extend study up to PhD level, where impactful research is conducted in high-end facilities.
Our unique course offering
At VU, we believe everyone deserves a chance to succeed in their study and graduate ready for work. Our study levels reflect our commitment to excellence and opportunities for all:
- Combined pathways: Seamlessly transition from a TAFE certificate or diploma straight into a bachelor degree.
- The VU Block Model®: Study one subject at a time over four weeks rather than four units at once for deeper focus.
- Practical learning: Real-world training and community programs embedded directly into courses.
- Work-focus for employability: Qualifications that match real industry needs at every level of learning.
